Modified and grafted polymers may serve as building blocks for creating artificial bioinspired nanostructured surfaces for tissue engineering. Polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) were modified by Ar plasma and the surface of the plasma activated polymers was grafted with polyenthylene glycol (PEG). The changes in the surface wettability (contact angle) of the modified polymers were examied by goniometry
